Taken at a dark sky site near Wagin, Western Australia. The western part of a widely spread and diffuse supernova remnant about 1470 LY away in the constellation Cygnus. I was intending to take a single test shot to locate and frame the object having picked it up with the 80mm APO the prior night, however cloud closed in after this so it didn't happen. Processing has pushed this image beyond bearable limits but faintly shows the eastern side of the western veil nebula. I'll have to await another dark skies trip to try this again.
